Storyline
Vera's former colleague Stuart Macken kills himself after his house is firebombed, leaving his daughter, Stella, in a coma. Vera learns that Stuart never recovered from his ex-wife, Marianne, leaving him for Brian Gower and had to be made subject of a restraining order. Given the two men's mutual antipathy, Gower is Vera's prime suspect but then there are others, people he recently arrested. One is Stella's former school teacher and another may have been her older lover. Indeed, Stella turns out to hold the key to everything. At the same time Vera's perceived bias toward Stuart leads to a run-in with constable Holly. Written by don @ minifie-1

It took several viewings, some research and a lot of pondering, but I finally understood the plot! If anyone is still in doubt as to who did what, go to the video at 1:20:48 and you'll see what you need to see. And by the way, teenagers can absolutely put their parents through the wringer!
